Why Wales is a great holiday destination

When picking where to enjoy a self-catering holiday, Wales should come high on your list. There are plenty of things for you to do and sights to take in here, so you'll never be short of activities to fill your days.

• For ramblers – Wales is home to some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK, with rolling hills and deep valleys. You could scale its highest peak Mount Snowdon at 1,085 m in Snowdonia, or for something slightly easier, you can enjoy walking in the green valleys of the south.
• For water sports enthusiasts – As Wales has 750 miles of coastline, it is hardly surprising that it offers excellent opportunities for you to be beside the sea. It has several golden beaches where you can lie on the sand, or if you're feeling adventurous, you can try some water sports. Windsurfing and kitesurfing are particularly popular due to the windy climate and long beaches, or you can go kayaking or take a pedalo out with your family.
• For culture vultures – Wales isn't just a great destination to go to if you love the outdoors, as a few of its cities have some of the best cultural attractions in Britain. In Cardiff, you'll find the National Museum, home to exhibitions revealing the natural history, geology and archaeology of Wales, as well as art from around Europe. The National Waterfront Museum in Swansea is also great for visitors interested in finding out about the industry of the country. Wales is also full of castles and heritage sites, so holidaymakers who love learning about history will be in their element here.
